GREETINGS
 10
Dear Friends of INTERKULTUR,
It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you all
to our 1st Lanna International Choir Competiti-
on in Chiang Mai, Thailand. After our four suc-
cessful competitions held in Hoi An and Hue in
Vietnam, Thailand is now the second country
in Southeast Asia in which we are planning to
establish an INTERKULTUR festival as a regular
feature.
I am delighted to see how extremely well our
new festival has been received by all our friends
of choral music. A total of 57 choirs from Thai-
land, Indonesia, and China, but also from Ma-
laysia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and even from
Croatia have set out for Chiang Mai, the rose
of the North, which it is also called, to celebra-
te a joyful festival of music taking place in this
wonderful atmosphere so rich in exotic charms
of Southeast Asian culture.
Gnter Titsch
President INTERKULTUR
Chiang Mai is not only a popular destination
for travelers from around the world. It is also
an impressive host city and venue for our event,
which brings together choirs from many coun-
tries to meet and sing together and to be able
to get to know Thai culture at the same time.
I would like to thank all our staff, colleagues and
partners who have helped to realize and organi-
ze this outstanding event in the best way possi-
ble. Our INTERKULTUR festivals and events have
achieved wide-spread public acclaim all over
the world, and I am happy to say that Chiang
Mai in Thailand is one of the most attractive
places we could have found to communicate
the motto that we all share: Singing together
brings nations together.

ABOUT INTERKULTUR
 16

Connecting Bridges
The first INTERKULTUR International Choir Competition in Budapest, held in 1988, was the start of
one of the largest and most successful series of cultural events in Europe. The INTERKULTUR Event
Series has meanwhile become known throughout the world for its high artistic and organizational
standards and as a concept for the choirs and choir enthusiasts worldwide. These events are orga-
nized by INTERKULTUR, a non-profit organization based in Germany.

INTERKULTURs biggest success to date was to bring the antique Olympic idea to the choral com-
munity. The Choir Olympics 2000 in Linz, Austria was the beginning of a Choir Olympic movement,
with subsequent events in Busan, Republic of Korea in 2002, and Bremen, Germany in 2004. This
success continued under the name World Choir Games in Xiamen, China in 2006, Graz, Austria in
2008, Shaoxing, China in 2010, and Cincinnati, USA in 2012. In 2014, the World Choir Games were
held in Riga, Latvia and marked the biggest event in the history of the choir Olympic idea attracting
27,000 participants. In July 2016, 283 choirs from 76 nations were guests in the Olympic city of So-
chi in Russia for the 9th World Choir Games. The 10th anniversary edition of the World Choir Games
in 2018 will happen on the African continent for the first time: in Tshwane in South Africa.

Another milestone in the history of INTERKULTUR was to establish a Championship for choirs. The
first World Choir Championships debuted in 2009 in the Province of Gyeongnam, Republic of Korea,
followed by the World Choir Championships for Youth and Young Adults in July 2011 in Graz, Aus-
tria. Graz again was the host city for an INTERKULTUR even; the first European Choir Games were
held in July 2013. The second edition of this European version of the World Choir Games was held in
Magdeburg, Germany in July 2015, the 3rd European Choir Games will happen in the Latvian capital
Riga in 2017 along with the 2nd Grand Prix of Nations. Sri Lanka in October 2017 will host the 4th
edition of the Asia Pacific Choir Games already.

The Idea
INTERKULTUR has become the symbol for a unique artistic idea, consisting of a new interpretation
concerning the execution of choir festivals. In comparison to traditional meritorious choir competi-
tions that only invite international elite choirs to take part; the INTERKULTUR competitions are open
to all non-professional choirs. Choirs from all over the world, interested in gaining international fes-
tival and competition experience, can compete according to their level of artistic achievement. The
Artistic Committee puts emphasis on the presence of the highest level of choral performers as well
as on the presence of the greatest diversity of choirs in all competitions. This new type of competi-
tion has been copied by numerous organizations in the past two decades. With the idea to organize
 17

the World Choir Games, formerly known as Choir Olympics biennially, INTERKULTUR has opened a
door to new impulses and perspectives for the national and international choral movement.

The Quality Seal

For more than 20 years, MUSICA MUNDI has been the exclusive quality seal for all INTERKULTUR
events worldwide. The evaluation system on which all INTERKULTUR competitions are based upon
since the first event in Budapest in 1988 have been improved continuously. MUSICA MUNDI en-
sures comparability among all events, a smooth organization and has set standards in the world
of choral music.

The Competitions
There are various categories for all types and levels of choirs in different degrees of difficulty, with
or without compulsory pieces. The competitions offer good competitive conditions, valuable artis-
tic contacts, various workshops and seminars, as well as practice opportunities with international
performers. More than 200 experts and leading choirmasters from all over the world guarantee a
high level of expertise in all INTERKULTUR events.

Evaluation System
The jury awards Bronze, Silver, and Gold Diplomas on 10 levels at INTERKULTUR competitions along
with Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals at the World Choir Games, the World Choir Championships
and the Grand Prix of Nations, according to the MUSICA MUNDI evaluation system. In each cate-
gory, a winner or champion is determined and outstanding achievements are honored with special
prizes. In some competitions there is a grand prize competition of the category winners which de-
termines the overall winner of the competition.

The Pedagogical Concept

INTERKULTUR events are not only competitions and international choir festivals, but also provide
professional competence. Choirs are able to receive feedback from various pedagogical offerings. In
evaluation rounds, choirs have the chance to work with international jury members and gain advice
on their current level of achievement, receive proficient pedagogical and artistic information and
obtain suggestions as to how to interpret the chosen piece. Choirs may also attend workshops and
seminars along with participation in Friendship and Celebration Concerts which allow internatio-
nal choirs to interact with choirs of the host city during INTERKULTUR events.
 18

gary, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Malaysia, Malta, Peoples Republic of China, Republic of Korea,

different regions of the world and encourage international collaboration through mutual respect,

European Culture Award

ter of Foreign Affairs, Hans Dietrich Genscher and presented by KulturForum Europa, for its activi-
ties on behalf of understanding between peoples and furtherance of common European thinking
in the field of culture.

ABOUT CHIANG MAI

 22

About Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is the hub of Northern Thailand and the Capital City of the Province of this name. With
a population of over 170,000 inhabitants in the city proper, but more than 1 million in the metro-
politan area, it is Thailand's fifth-largest city. Located on a plain at an elevation of 316 m, surroun-
ded by mountains and lush countryside, it is much greener and quieter than the capital and has a
cosmopolitan air and a significant expat population, factors which have led many from Bangkok to
settle permanently in the "Rose of the North".

Thailands Rose of the North is a cultural and natural wonderland with ethnic diversity,
a multitude of attractions and welcoming hospitality.

Chiang Mai literally means new city and has retained the name despite celebrating its
700th anniversary in 1996. King Meng Rai the Great founded the city as the capital of the
Lanna Kingdom on Thursday, April 12, 1296 around the same time as the establishment of
the Sukhothai Kingdom. King Meng Rai even conferred with his friends, King Ramkham-
haeng of Sukhothai and King Ngam Muang of Phayao before choosing the site where the
capital of the Lanna Kingdom was to be founded. Henceforth, Chiang Mai not only became
the capital and cultural core of the Lanna Kingdom, it was also the center of Buddhism in
northern Thailand. King Meng Rai himself was a very religious leader who even founded
many of the citys temples that remain important to this day.
Chiang Mai is one of the few places in Thailand where it is possible to experience both
historical and modern Thai culture coexisting side by side: the city features centuries-old
pagodas and temples next to modern convenience stores and boutique hotels. This dicho-
tomy is best appreciated within the moat-encircled old city, which retains much of the for-
tified wall that once protected the city center as well as the four main gates that provided
access to the former Lanna capital city. Strangely, for many years, tourists had mistaken
Chiang Mai simply as the base from which they could plan trekking and rafting trips to
 23

hill tribe villages and explore other provinces. Once in Chiang Mai however, tourists are
surprised by the fact that there are so many things to discover other than its beautiful and
historic temples. Intriguing diversity among ethnic tribes, a number of elephant camps,
many cooking and massage schools, numerous outdoor activities, a variety of handicrafts
workshops, various cultural performances and breathtaking scenery make Chiang Mai one
of Asias most attractive tourist destinations. The phrase "a day in Chiang Mai is enough to
see things around town" was once a common expression. Today, two weeks in Chiang Mai
may not be long enough for travelers to experience all that Chiang Mai has to offer.
The old city of Chiang Mai is a showcase of the norths fascinating indigenous cultural iden-
tity that includes diverse dialects, a delectable cuisine, distinctive architecture, traditional
values, lively festivals, numerous handicrafts workshops, northern style massage and clas-
sical dances. Chiang Mai is also blessed with pristine natural resources including moun-
tains, waterfalls and rivers. The presence of numerous hill tribes that feature a wealth of
unique cultures enhances Chiang Mais distinctive diversity. Hill tribe trekking, often com-
bined with river rafting and elephant riding has always been one of Chiang Mais greatest
tourist attractions. Nowadays there are innumerable activities and attractions both in the
city and the surrounding province, including massage instruction and golf. Moreover, vi-
sitors can visit workshops where they can learn about the production of silk or silver, and
purchase memorable, hand-crafted souvenirs. With such a diverse range of attractions and
an equally grand selection of dining and accommodation options, Chiang Mai is a place
where both backpackers and luxury tourists can enjoy the ultimate Thailand holiday.
